DALLAS, Texas (July 2, 2020) – Twenty years and almost 400,000 movie posters later, Heritage Auctions’ Grey Smith thought he’d seen – and sold – them all. Then it came time to compile the almost 700 lots for the July 25-26 Movie Posters event.
And there they were: the rarities once thought lost or out of reach, some of movie- poster collecting’s crowning achievements. The never- before-seens. The never- before-solds. “This job is exciting every day,” said Smith, Heritage’s Director of Vintage Posters. “When a new rarity comes in, it’s thrilling. That’s what makes this such a wonderful hobby. Anyone who says they’ve seen it all in movie posters isn’t telling you the truth. There is always material out there that’s exciting.” That’s especially true in the July sale, which offers among its many gems these astonishing finds:
3 The gorgeous one-sheet for Sunrise, director F.W. Murnau’s first American film, released in 1927 and considered one of the greatest silent films of all time (and a proto film noir, to boot). Shockingly, it’s the only known one-sheet poster for the landmark film that won three Academy Awards, among them Best Cinematography and Best Unique and Artistic Picture, a long-retired honor once on par with Best Picture. And peering over the roses is the beatific image of Best Actress winner Janet Gaynor, the unnamed wife who’s nearly the victim of a murderous plot conceived by her philandering husband and his big-city mistress.
4 There are some lobby cards and window cards for Sunrise known to exist. But nothing like this – nothing this large, this meaningful, this significant.“ It’s such a great piece,” said Smith. There’s also the unsettling, electrifying French poster for Universal Studios’ Frankenstein, released in France six months after its U.S. debut in 1932. Collectors covet any original Universal horror poster, among them the terrifying, unforgettable teaser for 1933’s The Invisible Man also in the summer sale and another of which only a handful are known to exist.
But the Frankenstein poster – by the great artist Jacques Faria – is particularly sought- after, as it’s the only known copy and has never before been offered by Heritage. “I was tickled to get that,” said Smith. “It’s the original release – and really, really scarce.” So, too, has the one-sheet for Chapter 10 of The Master Mystery, in which illusionist Harry Houdini and cinema’s first robot make their on-screen debuts. And the original Soviet artwork advertising Sergei Eisenstein and Grigoriy Aleksandrov’s 1928 monumental recreation of the Russian Revolution, October 1917: Ten Days that Shook the World.
5 Another “lost” poster in the July event is the three-sheet for The Lost Squadron, the 1932 film starring Richard Dix, Joel McCrea and Robert Armstrong as World War I aces who find dangerous work as stunt pilots in Hollywood. Smith says just one, maybe two copies are known to exist. But this is the first time in his two decades at Heritage one has come to auction.
The same can be said of the one-sheet for Warner Bros.’ 1936 release The Walking Dead, starring Boris Karloff – another that, until now, has eluded Grey Smith’s grasp. But it speaks to the depth and breadth of this auction that this work of horror – by no less than Michael Curtiz, the maker of Casablanca! – is only one of many premier pieces available in the July sale.
6 “Our auctions are a great opportunity for collectors to find the rarest material,” Smith said, “and to have a real shot at it.” The history of film is spread across the 683 lots in the auction, from gorgeous keepsakes representing cinema’s earliest achievements (1927’s Metropolis and 1931’s M) to its most enduring titles (1942’s Casablanca, represented here by several memorable and highly coveted posters, and 1939’s The Wizard of Oz, with rare French and Spanish offerings) to modern-day franchises and blockbusters, including the Star Wars and James Bond films.
“This hobby still is in its infancy,” said Smith as he looks over the works spread across the sale. “In years to come, these will be hanging in museums, and people will say, ‘You could have purchased some of these posters for relatively inexpensive prices once upon a time at auction.’ Who won’t know something like Frankenstein 300 years from now? Film is our cultural heritage.” And their posters, too. Heritage Auctions’ Movie Posters event takes place July 25-26. To view high- resolution images of all the lots, register at HA.com.

Last month we presented Part 2 of our National Screen Service article which covered from 1940- 1957.
To set the stage, the 1950s brought chaos and diversity to the film industry. To fight the television craze, studios experimented with a wide variety of ideas such as 3D, wide screen films, the oddities of William Castle and much more. Drive-ins were on the rise, so the film industry turned to a younger audience with rock and roll and beach movies.
We pick up at this point… Part 3
NSS Takes Control
1957-1980
With all the chaos going on in the movie industry, NSS business was booming. But, with all the oddities and variations, they needed more control of the operational process.
The slow-down was waiting for the printing process. Artwork had to be sent out to lithographers to do the physical layout and printing. The dominant in the industry at that time was Morgan Litho. Morgan had won the Litho wars of the past few decades and gobbled up most of the smaller litho shops that handled movie paper.
In 1957, NSS made another brilliant move by purchasing a smaller litho company, Continental Litho, and adapting it to their process. Over the next 3 years, Continental Litho took over and Morgan Litho had to close their doors in 1960 for lack of business.
With success also came the unbelievable burden of controlling all the inventory, orders, and paperwork. Here again, timing was everything.
In 1956, International Business Machines (IBM) created the first hard drive. This isn’t like the hard drive of today – notice the man pointing to their new “hard drive.”
12 In 1960, two major milestones occurred. First, the last of the barrage of lawsuits that had persisted since 1940 over the independent poster exchanges went in favor of NSS, giving NSS dominance in the industry.
And second, IBM announced their new line of computers for large businesses and NSS jumped on it.
In 1962, NSS produced their first ‘computerized’ inventory list. (We have the 1962 list on file).
This changed how everything was handled and in 1964 all the changes were presented at a national convention unveiling “the New N.S.S.”
With printing under control and a new computerized inventory system, NSS mushroomed into a giant.
But, while NSS looked unstoppable, and until the late 1970s they were. But, little did they know that a ‘demon-seed’ to the company had just been planted in Kansas City, Missouri in 1963 that would cause the fall of the giant.
Stanley Durwood, who had returned from WWII as a navigator, came home to help his ailing father who had purchased the Loew’s Midland theater in downtown Kansas City in 1920 (shown in postcard below) and had built it to a 40 theater chain.
In 1960, Stanley’s father died and Stanley took over the business. He noticed the large downtown theaters had trouble filling the theater and the balconies were always closed. This made then too costly to operate so he tried to figure a way to do something different with the balconies.
While worrying with this he was presented with a different problem. They had a new theater being built in the suburbs that the dimensions wouldn’t allow a full size screen. So, Stanley divided the building and on July 12, 1963, the first designed twin multi-plex theater was born.
In 1966, he built a 4-plex and in 1969, a 6-plex. During this time, Stanley changed the name of their company from Durwood Theaters to American Multi-Cinema which later became AMC Entertainment.
In August, we will present the final
Part 4

22 THE 2020 SUMMER POSTER COLLECTION IS HERE
You can go straight to the BLOG here
Dear Posterophiles,
The recent passing of il Maestro ENNIO MORRICONE hit me hard. The performance he gave at Radio City Music Hall in 2007 (his last in New York) remains very vividly in my eyes and ears if only for the sheer power of hundreds voices and instruments crammed on the large scene performing only a very few classics among the countless scores he composed between 1960 and 2020 in Rome either as Ennio Morricone or under pseudonyms such as Dan Savio or Leo Nichols.
While acclaimed all around the world, he only received one Oscar for the soundtrack for Tarantino's Hateful Eight in 2016 (as well as an Honorary Oscar in 2007 presented by the coolest bilingual Clint Eastwood. Tarantino is to be credited for selecting Morricone's compositions for nearly all of his movies and therefore for having exposed Morricone's music to a younger US audience. I write US audience as his oeuvre has indeed been the soundtrack of my European youth - like many of the readers here - as among his 519 soundtracks, many were done for Classic French movies especially 3 masterpieces directed by Henri Verneuil that have been staples of TV viewing and shaped my ears as well as other Italian movies shown all over European television.
23 Of course we all know the world famous scores he composed for Sergio Leone's Man With No Name trilogy (as well as all of the other Leone movies) and countless over Spaghetti Westerns but there are so many more done for Giallo, Sci-Fi, Crime, Dramas and Epic movies that are little known and are worth excavating, searching and immersing into to find joy, solace, serenity, exhilaration or even extreme discomfort as he also produced many experimental pieces bordering on dissonance that would challenge the aural patience of listeners...as he intended to.
Morricone was as prolific as sometimes "lazy" since he "recycled" (i.e. cut and pasted) so many of his themes from movies to movies, therefore cutting times to compose more soundtracks while being paid very well. If geniuses know where to steal, il maestro stole from himself and therefore was an even greater genius!!!!.
One cannot analyze the brilliant works of Morricone without mentioning the sound of Fender guitar (the only guitar brand he allowed in most of his studio sessions), whistles, strident oboes, tack pianos, luscious strings, harpsichords, unique snare drums and other sounds recorded in the Forum Music Village, the Roman studio he founded in 1969 with his peers Luis Bacalov and Piero Piccioni... and of course the incredible arrangements by Bruno Nicolai, the wordless vocals of Edda Dell'Orso (one of my favorite singers of all time as you can listen here on the sublime soundtrack for Metti una sera a cena) whether she sings solo and/or with the Cantori moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni.
Here is a video from a 1967 italian TV show featuring the Cantori moderni singers (including Edda Dell'Orso) conducted by il Maestro illustrating his genial composing talents for orchestra and vocals.
So after this long intro, I invite you to visit THIS WEEK'S BLOG (Click here) which is THE LARGEST and MOST AMBITIOUS I have ever done in 9 years with no less than 40 parts, mixing movie posters and Music/video split between Spaghetti Westerns (10 movies and their corresponding soundtracks/themes) and 10 other movies with their soundtracks/themes videos as well ranging between 1964 and 1975 illustrated with rare vintage posters and colorful limited edition prints.
Among the 20 movies included in the Blog, here is one that I highlight since it had a profound effect on me as a kid with its mix of comic scenes and great gunfights...My Name Is Nobody with its original Italian poster featuring the now iconic painting by Renato Casaro. The accompanying video/ soundtrack piece I selected is The Wild Horde. Visual and aural brilliance.
24 WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK?
* NEW ITEMS: The 2020 SUMMER COLLECTION strong of 600 posters is available in the NEW PRODUCTS section. Here is a selection of 20 images chosen to fit my visual mood du jour.
We begin with illustrative Italian maestria and a large 2 panel poster painted by Mario Piovano for the 1966 Italian Eurospy movie, The Big Blackout. (I dare you to just look in Marilu Tolo's eyes).
More Italian beauty with the dazzling smile of Claudia Cardinale being the focal point of the impossible to find vintage Japanese 2 panel poster for The Pink Panther.
Summer is here so we are looking forward to exposing our bodies to its rays to enhance our vitamin B reserves against the damned Covid 19 Virus. I'm starting the countdown to see how quickly this amazing 1969 Danish head shop poster, Beach Beauty, will sell...
Django is a classic Spaghetti Western whose soundtrack was not composed by Morricone but by his Forum Music Village associate, Luis Bacalov. Any poster for this movie is highly sought after but the large French poster painted by Belinski is among the hardest to get.
Bonnie and Clyde can certainly be seen as a modern Western with violence and action with rural America as its background. The success of the Oscar winning classic inspired the commercial release of this vintage 1967 Personality poster. The poster is already linen backed .
25 From black and white to glowing colors with this (literally) unique and super duper rare poster designed for Frank Zappa and Roberta Flack's 1971 concerts in Northampton. Probably only less than a handful of these posters have been created as they were done locally by the University students.
We celebrated Harrison Ford's birthday earlier this week so this stunning limited edition print by Paul Mann for Blade Runner seems more than appropriate.
Romanian design is worth collecting. Proof with this psychedelic color-a-go-go poster for the theatrical release of The Saint: The Fiction Makers starring a pre-James Bond Roger Moore.
Colors galore encore with a magnificent concert poster designed (and hand signed) by Randy Chavez for Peter Gabriel's 2011 Berkeley show.
Not all clowns are comical and joyful. Very rare recalled (due to a printing typo) double sided poster for the Oscar winning Joker.
Ennio Morricone's soundtracks were not the only memories of my childhood. Anime TV series and movies were also a big part of my visual education. Very rare Japanese poster for the 1972 Toei produced Anime Maken Liner 011 Shin Seyo.
26 I miss Paris and its beauty immortalized here by Enzo Nistri on this magnificent rare Italian poster for the 1963 Mondo style documentary, Nudi Per Vivere.
Charade, one of the best ever movies filmed in Paris was also released in 1963. I hope you can appreciate the fantastic design of the rare Romanian poster (one of two different created for the local release).
Another Paris-based comedy is Wild And Wonderful, the 1964 commercial flop that united on screen the real life couple of Tony Curtis and Christine Kaufmann. The movie may be lame but the Japanese poster certainly isn't!
Less romantic and more erotic is this little known 1969 French sex drama, L'etreinte (Gisele). The visual composition of the German poster made it an obvious addition to the Gallery's collection.
Stunning visuals are indeed what the Gallery specializes in. May 9 1945 is a 1985 commercial Polish poster celebrating the 40th anniversary of the liberation from Nazi occupation
Wish Superheroes exist so they can help us get rid of all the tyrannical regimes and dangerous criminals alike. The ones on this vintage 1978 Marvelmania poster are to this day my best friends since I spent countless hours reading their stories. Art by 'Big' John Buscema, the Michelangelo of Comic Book Art.
Renato Casaro (mentioned above) is the most prolific Italian movie poster Artist with hundreds of incredible paintings for all genres. The large 2 panel Italian poster for Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorites.
Another discovery that I had to purchase is the rare and beautiful German poster printed for the 1965 rerelease of Plein soleil, with an incredible portrait of Alain Delon.
27 Flight and glamour are inextricably linked as shown on this superb vintage 1971 poster from Japan Airlines advertising flights to Hamburg.
